Also known as: Purple Sunset #24
Overview
Purple Sunset is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) developed by Ethos Genetics through a complex breeding program involving Purple Punch, Mandarin Sunset, and Mandarin Cookies. The strain showcases stunning visual appeal with vibrant purple hues resulting from anthocyanin pigments that develop in cooler growing conditions, complemented by bright orange pistils and a thick coating of crystalline trichomes. With THC levels typically ranging from 18-23%, Purple Sunset has gained recognition for its balanced effects and premium quality, even earning 2nd place as best Indica flower at the Harvest Cup in Massachusetts.
The strain exhibits dense, resinous buds that emit a complex aromatic profile combining sweet citrus notes, particularly mandarin and orange, with berry undertones, floral hints, and subtle earthy spice. Upon consumption, users experience a sweet and tangy flavor profile reminiscent of grapefruit and orange zest, complemented by grape notes and smooth earthy undertones. Purple Sunset has quickly risen to prominence in the cannabis community due to its versatile effects that provide deep physical relaxation without excessive sedation, while maintaining mental clarity and creativity. The strain's balanced genetic makeup makes it suitable for both recreational users seeking a pleasant evening experience and medical patients looking for symptom relief.

Growing Information
Purple Sunset is considered easy to grow, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of 9-10 weeks (63-70 days).
